Prevent Ice Dams in Roofs & Gutters This Winter

Wesson Energy is helping homeowners understand ways to prevent ice dams on roofs and in gutters. Craig Snyder, president, explained, “Dams form when snow melts and flows down the roof, the water hits an unheated section of a roof and solidifies. They can occur whether a house has gutters or not, and can lead to water damage when trapped ice melts and leaks through the roof. Preventing ice dams can be as simple as ensuring adequate insulation is properly installed which also makes a home more comfortable and energy efficient.” Snyder stated there are significant rebates, including an insulation rebate, available through the Energize Connecticut Home Energy SolutionsSM Program. Taking advantage of these rebates begins with an energy assessment performed by an authorized contractor such as Wesson Energy. “This is a good time to have an energy audit done as there is time to make improvements, add insulation, and stop potential ice dams.” Family-owned and operated, Wesson Energy helps homeowners and businesses realize improved energy efficiencies by integrating smart technologies with heating and cooling solutions resulting in optimal comfort. Energy audits are an easy, cost-effective way to increase a home’s warmth and comfort level while saving energy and money.
